What blank discs do I use to copy, files, photos to discs from a old laptop

To copy files and photos from an old laptop to blank discs, you will typically need one of the following types of blank discs, depending on what kind of media your laptop's optical drive supports:

**CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable)**: A CD-R can hold about 700 MB of data. It's a good choice for smaller files or photos. Once written, the data cannot be erased or rewritten.

**CD-RW (Compact Disc Rewritable)**: A CD-RW can also hold about 700 MB of data but allows you to erase and rewrite the contents multiple times. This can be useful for temporarily storing files.

**DVD-R (Digital Versatile Disc Recordable)**: A DVD-R can hold about 4.7 GB of data, making it suitable for larger files or collections of photos.

**DVD-RW (Digital Versatile Disc Rewritable)**: This type of disc can be erased and rewritten multiple times, just like a CD-RW, but has a larger capacity of about 4.7 GB.

**Blu-ray Discs**: If your old laptop has a Blu-ray drive, you may consider using a Blu-ray disc. A standard single-layer Blu-ray disc can store about 25 GB of data.

Make sure to check the specifications of your laptop’s optical drive to determine which type of discs it can read and write. Once you have the appropriate blank discs, you can use built-in software such as Windows Media Player, File Explorer (in Windows), or other CD/DVD burning software (like ImgBurn, Ashampoo, or Nero) to copy your files and photos to the discs.
